Abstract: 7955. LÚgÚ, A. J. B. April 5. Elastic-fluid turbines.-Impact-wheels, particularly those of the type described in Specification No. 866, A.D. 1906, are arranged for multiple expansion. A piston part or bucket d, Fig. 1, attached to a disk u, Fig. 2, is acted on by steam introduced through nozzles c. After acting on the bucket d, the steam passes through nozzles g in the fixed ring f and impinges against similar buckets or piston-parts i. It next passes through nozzles j to buckets m, and exhausts through port n to the chamber o. The disk u carries piston-parts on both sides, only one side being shown in section in Fig. 2. The piston-parts may be formed with nozzle-like apertures, so that fluid passing through reduces the pressure in front of the piston-part. Labyrinth packing is provided where necessary. For reverse driving, steam is admitted to a central chamber q and is delivered by nozzles r to buckets s. It exhausts through ports n<1>, or may pass through openings in the ring t to the general exhaust n, or may even act further on the ahead buckets m &c. Fig. 3 shows a modification in which the annular chambers in which the buckets rotate are placed in axial succession instead of concentrically. The piston-parts d, i, m are as before. They may be modified, as shown in Fig. 4, to obviate end thrust. The engine may be reversed by introducing steam at the exhaust end, and removing part of it after one or two stages. High-pressure steam may be admitted direct through suitable valves to the lower-pressure stages to increase the torque when desired. According to the Provisional Specification, balancing in single turbines of the type shown in Fig. 1 may be effected by steam led through perforations in the rotor disk.

Abstract: 4966. Clough, H., and Mountain, W. C. March 4. Undercutting &c. -In chain coalcutting machines, the links of the chain, or the cutter holders c a r r i e d thereby, are constructed so as to allow the links to pivot in one direction for passing round the sprocket-wheels, while preventing them from pivoting in the opposite direction. The links between the sprocket-wheels are then practically rigid against inward pressure, so that backward tilting of the cutters with the consequent strain on the chain is prevented. In the form shown, the cutter holders a are formed in one with the links b, c pivoted together at d. The bases of the cutter holders abut together on the straight part of the chain, and resist inward pressure and tilting of the cutters. The cutter holders are preferably cut away at e to allow coal dust to fall through. As an alternative, the ends of the links may be provided with suitable stops for preventing pivoting in the undesired direction.
